I have tried donuts from Seattle to Lynden. Darrens Donuts are the best donuts by far. This little "mom and pop shop" I wish would franchise. There have been times that I'd arrive and the maple bar my favorite would not be ready. The owners knew what I wanted and would put the maple bars in, so that they would be in my hands, hot and fresh within five minutes. I don't travel anymore, so when I can I make a special trip from Everson, WA to Mount Vernon just to get my fix. Or I have someone going by make a special stop for me so that I can have a donut.
